Hey everyone!
I’m going to be joining Amazon at WAS19 (HQ2) in Arlington, VA soon, and I’ll be relocating for the role. Super excited — but I’ve got a lot of questions and would love advice from anyone familiar with the area or who has worked at Amazon HQ2.
A few things I’m trying to figure out:
Public Transportation – How reliable is the Metro and bus system around WAS19? Can I depend on it daily for commuting?
Amazon Shuttle Services – Does Amazon offer any shuttle service from nearby neighborhoods to WAS19?
Best Places to Live – What are some good neighborhoods (safe, reasonable rent, and good connectivity)? I’m looking for a place that offers a good value for money — doesn’t have to be super fancy, just livable and secure. I’d prefer something commutable via public transit or bike.
Anything Else I Should Know? – Any tips on moving to the DMV area, Amazon-specific info for new joiners, or must-know tricks for making the transition easier?
Would appreciate any insights from folks who've made this move recently or live/work nearby. Thanks in advance!
